By the Numbers: UFC Rio

Demian
Maia had no interest in being Ryan
LaFlare’s steppingstone. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace grounded,
mounted and just generally outgrappled his previously unbeaten foe
to capture a unanimous decision in the UFC Fight Night headliner at
Maracanazinho Gymnasium in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday. In his first
fight since May 2014, Maia put LaFlare through a clinic for four
rounds in a mostly dominant performance. By the time LaFlare picked
up the intensity in round five, it was too late -- even with Maia
fading badly.

Meanwhile, “Ultimate Fighter 1” heel Josh
Koscheck may have had his swan song in the Octagon, as he
suffered his fifth straight loss to Erick Silva
in the evening’s co-main event. If it is indeed goodbye, the former
welterweight title challenger will go down as a key figure in the
growth of the Las Vegas-based promotion.

14: Guard passes executed by Maia, who was
consistently able to advance position and mount LaFlare in the
25-minute affair. Maia passed guard a combined 11 times in rounds
one through three.

76: Total strikes landed by Maia. By comparison,
LaFlare landed 54. Maia also held a 36-to-25 advantage in
significant strikes landed.

24: Significant ground strikes landed by Maia.
LaFlare landed just one significant strike on the floor.

15: Total strikes by which LaFlare outlanded Maia
in round five, when the Brazilian was deducted a point for lack of
aggression. Maia also only landed one of seven takedown attempts in
the final stanza after landing four of seven tries in the first
four frames.

6: Six first-round finishes in UFC competition for
Erick
Silva, who tapped out Josh
Koscheck with a guillotine choke 4:21 into round one in their
welterweight showdown. That ties him with Koscheck, interestingly
enough, for the second most first-round finishes in the history of
the division.

21: Days between Koscheck’s loss to Jake
Ellenberger at UFC 184 and his first-round submission defeat
against Silva on Saturday.

24: Welterweight bouts in the UFC for Koscheck, a
promotion record.

14: UFC wins by Koscheck in his career, No. 3 in
welterweight history behind Matt Hughes
(16) and Georges St.
Pierre (19). “Kos” completed the last bout on his contract at
UFC Fight Night.

3:58:56: Total fight time for Koscheck, No. 8
among all active UFC fighters. “Kos” spent 4:21 in the Octagon on
Saturday to move past Sam Stout
(3:57:28). Koscheck is also No. 2 in UFC welterweight history
behind only Georges St.
Pierre (5:28:12).

74: Significant strikes by which Shayna
Baszler has been outlanded in her two Octagon appearances
against Amanda
Nunes and Bethe
Correia. Nunes outlanded Baszler 15-to-1 in their abbreviated
encounter, while Correia held a 68-to-8 edge at UFC 177 last
August.

10: Consecutive wins -- including three in the
Octagon -- for Edimilson
Souza, who starched Katsunori
Kikuno with a right cross 1:31 into the opening stanza of their
featherweight clash. Of those 10 victories, nine have come via
knockout or technical knockout -- including six inside of a
round.

6: UFC bouts refereed by Eduardo
Herdy, including his controversial stoppage of the lightweight
bout between Drew Dober
and Leandro
Silva. As Dober defended a Silva guillotine from half guard,
Herdy intervened and called a halt to the contest 2:45 into round
two. Herdy would go on to referee one more bout (Godofredo
Castro vs. Andre Fili)
after the controversial stoppage.

151: Total strikes landed by Leonardo
Mafra Texeira in his unanimous decision triumph over Cain
Carrizosa in a lightweight scrap. Texeira outlanded his foe by
99 total strikes -- including a 60-10 advantage in round three.

0: Significant strikes landed by Jorge de Oliveira
before he was submitted by Christos
Giagos 3:12 into round round of their 155-pound matchup.
Giagos, meanwhile, landed 18 significant strikes before securing
the fight-ending rear-naked choke.
